Hey Echelon are you guys gonna make wide boards/bigger boards again or is that not really in your marketing plan right now? I know we are a small demographic.

Actually, absolutely! We've been seeing a lot of responses especially from military folks, who need a big board. It makes sense since a lot of military guys are giants among us. We have a new board shape and size range plan for next season. A flat-rise jump/park board w/ 3d base. With sizes up to 170 cm, I think that you're going to find something that will work for you.

I checked w/ Avran from angrysnowboarder.com (Burton Avenger) to get a comparison between the Blacklist (which he has put a lot of time on) and the Franken. He says that the flex pattern is almost the same. the sidecut is different so turn initiation is also different, but you'll like it. Overall verdict? You'll be happy, especially with the e3 base.

So is the orion any different then the franken if not how do I go about getting the board?

HMMMM … kind of want this to replace my blacklist , plus being military you guys make the boards right up my ally.

Hey, Turch—Just called NH. Unfortunately, one of our kids' boards was ripped from the top of the car. As in, they literally drilled off the rack to get it! In response, Andy threw on that Killbox, so it has been deployed . We have a 2012-13 154 Franken left; all other stuff is new stock samples for the moment.

Any interest?

Don.
